WHAT BAND ARE YOU IN?

[Veils]

Rawwrrr!

My band is called Veils.

www.myspace.com/veilsband

We are a 5 piece tech metal band from Manchester with a few twinges of death metal and a bit of an old skool vibe thrown in for good measure!

Here is a live review by Sonic Dice of our first ever show supporting As I Lay Dying

VEILS W/ AS I LAY DYING - CAMBRIDGE BARFLY 24/05/2008

Veils are first-up and are immediately confronted with a venue that's at capacity. Seems the world and his wife want to hang around for this Manchester quartet of metal-heads and they are duly rewarded. They play rapid, death metal with elements of thrash and hardcore thrown in for good measure and have quite an impact as a mosh kicks off instantaneously. A few idiots start running across the circle pit before launching themselves into any unsuspecting crowd members - inadvisable in such a tight venue - it's not long before a bouncer moves in to stop a punch-up breaking out. The lead vocalist is keen for more and he looms over the barrier with one hand on the low roof, supporting himself, screaming encouragement. "I want to see more of this dancing. It's f***ing mint!", he yells, before proudly announcing new track 'A Resistance To Exist'. It's like listening to the end of the world - a mixture of booming double-kick, cascading tom rolls, tightly-coiled guitars and brutal, roared vocals. They pause to launch a few CDs into the crowd before assaulting us again.

There are a couple of tracks up on the myspace, hopefully our EP will be out soon depending on current negotiations........

It's kind of alternative rock type stuff.

i'm in a two piece band (bass and drums) called run,WALK! ( although we may be changing the name soon)

i have just got a new drummer, as my old one was not really into anymore and wanted to concentrate on education.

our myspace is here:
www.myspace.com/runwalk

also i mentioned it in a thread in the off topic thread but it'd be great if you some of you guys can give us a listen and if you like us vote for us at www.xfmuploaded.co.uk/runwalk we're in the chance to win a support slot with the subways.

we've also got a 7" coming in the new year so if you want more info on that keep on checking on our myspace/blog/facebook etc.

However I'm so new that neither the photo nor the listed personnel have me on it. I am playing (not very well admittedly) on the website mp3 samples though. That was a demo we lashed together in a very short space of time last week.

Its not the bass playing you should be worried about.

Best get practicing on the rollerskates should he feel a "Wired for Sound" moment coming on.

Since everyone went their own ways after uni I’ve joined a really sh*t band. Were called “Ben’s Imaginary But Miraculously Marvellous Mystery Band of Funk Justice” - not gigging near you, or anyone else.

[url="http://wagthedogband.co.uk"]Wag The Dog[/url], we're a three piece doing punk, indie, and ska type covers around Guildford in Surrey. Lots of parties, a few pubs and the odd wedding. Crap name, but we're pretty tight with loads of energy. Frontman's a cheeky chappy too - good with the banter. Been going nearly two years and is a good laugh.[/quote]

I know the name of your band so must have seen you somewhere, must have had my shandy spiked because I can't remember where, have you played around Richmond, Chiswick or Ealing?.
